from

on

HWS

Michael
Copacino

-
actually

Copacino
calls
himself
an

buff,
following
each
sport

since
a
young
age
and
dreaming
of
traveling
to
the
seemingly
far-off
country
that
had
the
honor

hosting.
It
was
not
until
the

came
to
America’s

of
Canada
that
Michael
decided
to
make
his
dream
come
true.

How
Global
Warming
Is
Affecting
Your
Breakfast
By

Coffee
prices
are
on
the
rise
as
global
warming
affects
coffee
bean
growing
seasons
and
climate
factors
such
as
rainfall.
Coffee-drinkers
may
have
taken
notice
of
the
erratic
ranges
in
the
prices
of
the
much-coveted
beverage
beans.
These
sporadic
price
ranges
are
not
the
result
of
greedy
growers;
in
fact,
the
economics
of
coffee
is
being
substantially
affected
by
global
climate
change.
The
effects
of
global
warming
impact
our
daily
atmospheric
quality,
as
well
as
a
large
majority
of
agricultural
industries.
These
include,
as
you
may
have
guessed,
coffee
crops.
Climatic
patterns
are
becoming
increasingly
variable,,
from
extreme
dry
spells
as
a
result
of
deforestation
to
an
excess
of
rainfall.
These
unpredictable
patterns
are
the
bane
of
many
plantation
owners’
existences.
As
a
result
these
unpredictable
global
temperature
changes,
a
multitude
of
tropical
regions
are
experiencing
irreparable
losses
in
terms
of
crop
yield.
These
areas,
which
may
include
Central
America,
Africa,
